Vantage Data Centers collaborates with Malaysia Forest Fund to protect forests and empower Indigenous communities.
Vantage Data Centers has formed a partnership with the Malaysia Forest Fund in a press release made on 30th March 2026 in Singapore and Malaysia. The partnership supports and aims to promote sustainable forestry and biodiversity conservation. The main focus of the partnership is the conservation of 108,000 hectares in Selangor, which creates opportunities for the indigenous Orang Asli people.
The partnership will support the Penjaga Gunung project under the Forest Conservation Certificate protocol. The project covers the Selangor Royal Heritage Forest and aims to train the youth in the area to become nature guides. The project aims to promote sustainable forestry and biodiversity conservation initiatives, creating opportunities for eco-tourism and livelihood activities in villages.
“Our support for Penjaga Gunung translates to meaningful career opportunities in the realm of conservation,” said Fitri Abdullah, Country Managing Director, Malaysia, Vantage Data Centers. He further stated that the company is committed to corporate sustainability partnerships in Southeast Asia by investing in workforce development and supporting Malaysia’s environmental and digital ambitions.
The partnership was also witnessed by Selangor Crown Prince Tengku Amir Shah and Natural Resources Minister Arthur Joseph Kurup. The project is also part of Malaysia’s growing drive towards forest conservation programs for the indigenous population, which combines the concepts of nature and culture.
As the data center operations continue to expand in Malaysia, particularly in Cyberjaya and Johor, the partnership is part of the broader vision to combine the growth of data centers with the sustainable aspects of the environment.
